STERLING STINGER Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 someone told me they needed to be changed every 30000 miles hes not right, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I was kidding. :rotfl2: That thing looks pretty toasted. If you're replacing the bearing, you might as well do the U-joint, even if it was still working ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 someone told me they needed to be changed every 30000 mileshes not right, right? The original front u-joints on my '88 XJ lasted approximately 275,000 miles, and that includes wheeling at Paragon in PA, the Mohawk Trail region of MA, a secret trail (now closed) in RI, and some puttering around on fire roads and such in New Mexico.

Drahcir495 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Cadence was born this morning (March 6th) at 1:41 am. 7 pounds 9 ounces and 19 3/4 inches long. She's doing great, and I'm feeling pretty good too. We'll get to take her home Monday morning. Maybe Darren can post a few pictures when his timeout is over. Am i missing something :hmm: I didnt know Darren got banned ....again..... Banned may have been a bit harsh - I think he is in time out :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 I need to do the same repair on my '89 Pioneer. My front right u-joint is so badly worn I can take the axle shaft and wiggle is around a good 1/4". Although, I'm not sure what else has been damaged because of this. I'm assuming there is some sort of seal in the front axle that is toast due to the axle shaft bouncing around. Maybe even a bearing? Been looking for an exploded view of the D30 to figure it all out.

Been looking for an exploded view of the D30 to figure it all out. most likely nothing has been damaged by this. there could be other components worn out from old age/use/abuse, but a failing u-joint will not harm anything unless it actually breaks in which case often-times the axleshaft does not survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
